Not easily.  Basically, the FC uses late 50s full-size Chevy front
suspension. Wheels are five lug vs. four for the early Corvair, brake drums
won't fit into 13 " wheels, etc.

But all of those type of things can be done and folks have done it.  Email
Bob Marlow for 5-lug suggestions or Seth Emerson, both on the list.

I noticed that the early FC corvairs had heavier duty suspension, ie - 14 in
wheels , 5-lug, larger brake drums, etc. Can any of these components be
swapped over to the early cars ?
